Former Minister of State for Transportation, Prince Ademola Adegoroye, has expressed optimism that the 2025 budget would turn around the fortune of the country.
Adegoroye who stated this in Akure, the Ondo state capital, during the Akure branch of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) end-of-the-year dinner sponsored by him, said there are positive indicators that Nigeria’s economy is poised for a positive turnaround in 2025
He expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu would use the 2025 budget to turn reposition the nation, saying the budget reflects a strategic and forward-thinking approach to the country’s economic recovery.
Adegoroye said the 2025 appropriation bill before the National Assembly would address some of the economic and security challenges facing the country.
According to him, the assurance of President Tinubu that the security challenges facing the country would be reduced to the barest minimum would allow investors to invest in the nation’s economy.
Adegoroye said the budget proposals, especially the security and infrastructural development, are ambitious and require the government to take bold steps to achieve the set targets.
President Tinubu has submitted the 2025 budget proposals of N49.7 trillion, which is significantly higher than the 2024 approved budget of N28.8 trillion.
Speaking at the annual dinner, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain assured the legal practitioners of his support for the activities of the branch in the ongoing legal year.
